You must sign up to (Link Below) only details required for Troops are Email / Name / Username / Service Number. You do not need to buy the card (£4.99) unless you want to use it in stores however your F1250 / F90 -- ID Card should be good enough. However lots of online discounts.

About time! Although I do think 20%across the board should be a given! Not enough respect or appreciation is given to the people that give up their lives &miss countless holidays, birthdays&important times to serve this country&public. (emergency services included)

This is also for veterans (ex forces) also!At long last the UK has sort … This is also for veterans (ex forces) also!At long last the UK has sort to appreciate HM Forces. We still have a long way to go before we show the same support as the USA does to its serving and former serving forces personnel.

lol...... Oh... you're not joking?

Lets hope ours get treated better than how the USA supports theirs.

Governments start WAR let them fight, say NO TO WAR.

Struggling to see what your post has to do with the discounts being offered to our service personnel!

1st Jan 2014

Lol nice thread. I'm the author of the student discount thread so I guess the argument will move over to here now

Not sure if you're just joking or poorly informed but veterans in the USA have a lot more formal support than those in the uk.

1st Jan 2014

Most forces, ex and serving are aware of most discounts, however always worth reminding, plenty more here too arrse.co.uk/for…-97

Just to add most shops and all restaurants Gunwharf Quays in Portsmouth, please see below.

Fittingly for an ex-Naval base the shops and restaurants at Gunwharf Quays are pretty kind to the Forces:

Shame there isn't an Emergency services thread too

there was a post a while back about onethe scheme on this thread is run by blue light card ltd on behalf of MoD, who also run a scheme for emergency services but the range of companies is poor. they're also supported by the sun who use it as a propaganda tool in their support of 'our lads, wahey, we love it.' just like the politicians, they're quick to associate themselves with us when planes fall out of the sky, but they won't hesitate to stitch us up with stories full of lies when it suits their political agenda, and for that reason you're about as likely to find a copy of it in a fire station as you are in liverpool. until they cut their ties with the scum, I and many of my colleagues won't go near the blue light card with a barge pole

it is a shame that companies aren't pro-active in offering discounts to emergency services, but i've found in my experience that some companies unofficially give something. nandos famously do, as do (some) dominos and subways. because they're franchises, it varies. i've sometimes only got 30% off full price pizza, collection only, but another time we stopped our truck outside dominos in uniform and they gave us the buy one get one free offer (which was available to everyone) and then when the pizzas were ready the manager came out and gave us half of our money back! the subway near my work are cheeky - they only give discount to coppers!i know some people don't like to ask for discounts, but I think take what you can get - it's not like we get 6 figure bonuses or a company credit card for personal expenses, and often the person behind the till feels really happy in giving a little something backi think part of the reason why is because teachers and NHS staff are pretty worthy too, so it becomes difficult to draw the line, and after a certain point you start eroding your profit margins for a significant chunk of your market. that said, i'm also an NUS registered student and have far more joy getting discount with that. from an objective point of view, i know students have less money, but think those in the emergency services are more worthy of discounts.

Do we need to start up a megathread of megathreads?

1st Jan 2014

There was a time when a megathread was defined by the amount of posts and how long it had been running. Not by some numpty typing it in the title....

1st Jan 2014

I posted this deal 2 months ago, I'm glad to see you're getting more heat than I did.
